CUCUMBER MINT LIMEADE 1
large English cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
4
sprigs of mint, de-stemmed
2 limes
squeezed for juice
1/4 cup
sugar
1/4 tsp
course sea salt
3 1/2 cups filtered water 1 cup
ice
cucumber spears, mint leaves and lime wedges to garnish (optional)
prep all of your ingredients. make sure your cucumber is peeled and seeded. to seed a cucumber simply cut in in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. coarsely chop up your cucumber and put it into your blender. pull the mint leaves away from their stems and add them to the blender as well. add the remainder of the ingredients to the blender (excluding garnishes) and blend on high until the limeade is completely liquefied and mixed. i used a high powered blender and it only took about a minute for everything to come together nicely. serve immediately over ice and garnish with mint, a slice of cucumber and a lime wedge. if you don't finish your limeade immediately you can keep it in an airtight container in your fridge and finish it within the next two days.

WELL BEING
MIND & SOUL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF loving our neighbour as ourselves automatically assumes that we should love ourselves. note that the instruction is not to run yourself down and build up your neighbour. we are not advised to deprive ourselves, to suffer and be miserables. my interpretation of “love your neighbour as yourself” is what we should maintain a balance between our needs and our neighbour’s needs; repect both parties.
BODY & SHAPE A HERBAL TEA FOR SLEEP although you can buy herb teas from supermarkets and health-food stores, why not make your own infusion to help you sleep? Choose one to three of the following, mixing any combination: hops, valerian, camomile, passion flowers, skullcap, lemon balm. steep the herbs in hot water for five minutes. drink this tea in the early evening to give it time to work before you go to bed.
